FoxO1 regulates the transcription of genes involved in diabetes, cancer and ageing. In this issue of The EMBO Journal , Olefsky and colleagues report that FoxO1 also causes inflammation by regulating the pro‐inflammatory Tlr4 signalling pathway in macrophages. Insulin‐mediated activation of Akt inactivates FoxO1 and thereby limits the inflammatory response.
